[01] PM meets with Luxembourg counterpart
Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis discussed Europe's future and fiscal
prospects during his meeting with Luxembourg's Prime Minister
Jean-Claude Juncker in Athens on Wednesday.
The two premiers also exchanged views on the latest EU developments,
following the beginning of Turkey's EU accession negotiations.
The greater part of the discussion, which took place in a friendly
atmosphere, was devoted to the challenges that lie ahead for Europe as
well as providing incentives to the Union's citizens.
In essence, the two leaders touched on subjects that will be discussed
at the upcoming, informal summit meeting to be held in Surrey at the
end of October.
Juncker, who is also Luxembourg's Finance Minister, is in Athens to
attend the European Central Bank's meeting that will be held on
Thursday since he is a member of the ECB's executive board.
